For many Chicagoans, like myself, it’s that time of the year in the windy city when it’s far from below zero temperatures, Santa isn’t here, asking if you were naughty or nice, and we finally get to take that much needed break from shoveling our cars out from 10 inches of dirty snow. (Side note: One year my Jeep sat covered, snowed in on the street, for a week in a half until it finally melted off. Lazy? Nope, more like: Don’t care to throw my back out just to drive 5mph to the 7-11 down the block).

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, comformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Who knew that the more people you know, the harder it’d be to find someone to have a deep, genuine conversation with.

Well, you’re basically the greatest thing ever to happen to me. k.

Private party, night shift, thank you buddha. 111 is way to hot to be outside for 3 hrs.— Just realized, its pretty cool that I get to say my first job is being a lifeguard as opposed to working at McDonald’s, no offense to those who do.
